Funny, I usually hear that sentiment from left wing sources complaining about billionaires.

Interesting, but what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
I think they're saying the left and the right are the same
Ah, horseshoe theory!
As someone who grew up in Russia in the 90s, I've seen it firsthand that the red/brown horseshoe is not a theory. It was often difficult to tell which one was which; even when it came to religion, our commies have all suddenly found a love for Eastern Orthodoxy.

The fallacy is that there's only one direction, so to speak. You can be left without being an authoritarian. Of course, the same goes for the right.

FWIW, I was lucky enough to be born in the US, but I've long believed that the horseshoe theory is real as well despite my somewhat flippant comments.
The billionaries don't need/care about sympathy And most importantly, the billionares don't do hard work for minimun pay.
Billionaires always have the option to un-parasite themselves, quite trivially.

Nobody is calling MacKenzie Scott a parasite.

Well I find the 'Eat the rich' slogan equally disgusting.
Won’t somebody please think of the poor oppressed billionaires!
